Parces X Colombia

We've driven 10,000 miles on a barely-road-worthy car to give some of the poorest children of Bogota the chance to become change-generating leaders in their communities.
Thank you all for your support.

Bella Flor Foundation

We're three "parces" (friends) from Colombia, born and raised. We've travel long distances in our lives to do some of the things we love but we don't forget where we come from. That's why we've driven more than 10,000 miles to raise money for the Bella Flor Foundation. Thanks to all of those who have supported the project. You donation will help children in Bogota have the opportunity to follow their dreams wherever these may take them, just like we did.

The Bella Flor Foundation makes all of this possible by preparing kids ages 7 to 17 to discover their passions, develop their talents and boost their drive to lead change in their communities. We've raised $1000 to fund programs like Fotoparche (creative photography for kids and teens), Letras del Sur (creative writing for community building), the Ludoteca (an stimulating space for kids to learn, interact and play) and the Sala de sistemas (a computer room with Internet access where kids use new technologies to have fun while improving their learning). We also raised $580 for the Lotus Children Foundation plus the porduct of the sale of the car (calculated in $1500) which is done by the Rally's organizers.
